Black Camaro SS paint correction - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

gofast908z · 12-12-2010, 06:56 PM

Paint was rough on this SS... Heavy swirls, oxidation, and heavy contamination. After 2 days working it over, it looked much better!

Before pics

You can really see the heavy swirls on the hood here...

After just one panel, my claybar just looked abused.... but the paint was so much smoother afterwards

More heavy swirls and marring in the halogens

Progress and correction! Not perfect, but it was only a 2 stage correction, but still massive improvement.

Checking the work in the sun after correction. Some slight imperfections left, but overall about a 85% improvement.

Finished pics after correction and sealed with Zaino

Thanks for checking it out!

The correction was done with Meguiars 105 and LC PFW and then followed with Menzerna SIP.

Good job on the paint.....our new car is red jewel and I ready to tackle the swirl marks in time...but I am taking care of the paint like it was black in color...

2LTRS · 12-12-2010, 09:32 PM

As usual, great work!

SlowSS · 12-12-2010, 10:15 PM

Great work!!! It's funny that most people would have just re painted the car....little do they know what just a little elbow grease will do

wow, great job man!

h2oplay · 12-13-2010, 10:57 AM

curious, how much do you get for a 2 stage like that?

garcmol · 12-13-2010, 11:39 AM

That looked like auto car wash hell! Nice save.

The paint on those 4th gen SLP hoods was garbage. I had a dark blue 01 SS, and the hood paint was so soft. Every wash even with the best/softest wash mit you could buy would leave tons of swirl marks. The rest of the car would be perfect but the hood and rear spoiler that SLP painted constantly needed the swirls removed.
